Mamata And Nephew Fall-Out May Create Setback For TMC In National Expansion

Monomita NagFebruary 21, 20220

There is a growing rift between Mamata Banerjee, the CM of West Bengal and her anointed successor and number 2 in the party hierarchy, her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. Her displeasure was quite clear when she made a very important statement at the airport while leaving for Lucknow that she would not go to Goa to campaign for the election, as somebody was already doing that.

The possible Russian invasion of Ukraine is a distinct possibility with an aim of installing a pro-Russian govt in Kyiv. At the same time, China is also threatening to invade and annex Taiwan in the near future as the country considers it a renegade province. Against this background, the joint statement by Putin and XI during a summit on February 4 needs to be studied critically. It signals clearly that Sino-Russian relation makes no secret of their 'core interest' and therefore it is on the threshold of a deeper security alignment. What is unprecedented about the language and the cooperation of the statement is that ...
